	Aw, it's not so bad. It's not quite as glitzy, but it runs fast and  
looks clean. It's methodology is more Mac-like, though, so I think  
that throws people off at first, since KDE is more Windows-like.

	You need a KVM switch. Then you could hook the Mac up to your main  
screen along with your other computer.

	Ah, yes. KDE needs to get a Plaxo connector to make moving address  
books around easier...
